 OCTOBER 11 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY RALLY — PRAYER INTENTIONS:
Remember — The Rally will be held in the St. Francis Catholic Church Parking Lot at 12:00 NOON, on Saturday, October 11th.
Invite friends from other parishes around our area to join us. We want to have a good crowd, and we want to encourage other parishes to take up the Public Square Rally in the future. 23,000 Nationwide this Year, Many More in 2026! On October 12, 1917, Our Lady performed the Miracle of the Sun, witnessed by 70,000 people at Fatima, Portugal. Witnesses include atheists, communists, and anti-Catholics — leading many to convert. To honor this miracle, which occurred around noontime, and to show Our Lady we hear her request to stop offending God by our sins, we are hosting a public square Rosary rally SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11th at NOON. We know our sins have caused America to suffer a societal collapse - and we know we must urgently stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God's blessings and to avert His wrath. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of his Blessed Mother. In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis de Monfort said "Public Prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public prayer and suffering."

Some of the participants prayed from the shelter of their cars, but their voices were heard!  America Need Fatima.
